Last night, I was yelling at the TV that Obama is a FRAUD. It took less than 24hr to be validated. Reduce the deficit my arse.

Prediction: Wave good bye to the DOW, down down and down it goes.

What a slap to the face.
What heck Obama was all over the place in the sotu. He said he was going to spend for this and that, Then he said hes going to freeze spending on this and that.

So in other words Obama is going to increase spending, Cut the deficit , not increase your taxes. He is magical to make all that happen.

Its a trick. Hes going to increase spending, Decrease the deficit say 1% even though his actions cause it to increase say 40%

Sadly most people dont actually listen to it. They hear catch phrases and thats it. They dont ask themselves wait, how is he going to do this while doing that and make this happen.


Obama is great at catch phrases " change you can believe in" Yes we can. Bad big bankers ( shhh ignore all I've done for those bankers) lol

Its what happens when you have an uninformed population thats more concerned with what say Khole and Kim Kardaisan is doing or will Tiger woods wife take him back

Thats all a distraction anyway to keep people from focusing on what really matters

You're right. That doesn't happen and neither does any questioning of whether some of the ideas are feasible, or why some conditions exist.

We do have an incredibly uninformed and apathetic electorate. It's a pretty sad situation.

I'm going to keep voting for dems & indies until hateful people can't afford the internet anymore.

Yessirree We've got to figure out how to tax greedy haters to death, let them flee for their lives to a comfy fascist/ capitalist regime like Nicaragua where they can lecture everyone how wrong they are. Maybe join a contra death squad on weekends for a hobby.

<muhahahahahaa plotting and scheming>

They increased the debt ceiling so they could borrow to PAY their bills.
We don't have revenue coming in to pay current bills. This was not for spending but for borrowing to pay what's currently due.

This link explains it a bit more:

Democrats propose $1.9T increase in debt limit - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100120/ap_on_bi_ge/us_congress_debt_limit_11 - broken link)

snippet:
"Senate Democrats on Wednesday proposed allowing the federal government to borrow an additional $1.9 trillion to pay its bills, a record increase that would permit the national debt to reach $14.3 trillion.

The unpopular legislation is needed to allow the federal government to issue bonds to fund programs and prevent a first-time default on obligations."

Have you all not figured out that Obama is a liar yet?? Remember transparency?? How's that working out?? Remember give me the stimulus ensuring that unemployment would not go above 8%?? This man says "I want to attack the deficit" and unfortunately the ambien/xanax laced population we live in eat it up and fall for it hook, line, and sinker!!!! America is starting to wake up but you have to ask yourself if they are taking to long to awaken from their slumber!!!!
